American's decision to end the agreements which allow airlines to book passengers on each other's flights, ramps up an acrimonious dispute between US carriers and Gulf competitors over competitive advantages.

The US company privately notified Qatar Airways of the decision on June 29 - a week after disclosing that the Middle East airline's overture to potentially become one of American Airline's largest shareholders.

A stake in American would add to Qatar Airways' investment portfolio, which already includes a 20% stake in British Airways-owner International Airlines Group and 10% of South America's LATAM Airlines. Etihad accused American for being anti competitive and anti consumer and was very disappointed with this decision.

Codeshares allow American to sell tickets on board flights operated by another airline using an AA flight number.

American Airlines said it would also end a marketing agreement with Etihad Airways PJSC.

All three Gulf carriers operate flights out of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
